People may rip on you for the Florida trade but according to Elliot Friedman, Florida offered Weegar for Johnsson+Dermott and the leafs said no. Since imo Kerfoot has more trade value then Johnsson, it wouldn't be that much of a reach to ask Florida to add a 3rd.
I think Virtanen gets 2.5 and Gaudette is likely around 2. Virtanen has arbitration rights and he almost scored 20 goals last year, and definitely would have had the season finished. I think he will try to use Kapanen's contract as a comparable. I'm not sure he gets that much, but it may be higher then a lot of people think. Gaudette had a solid year and centres make a lot of money. Rodrigues got 2 mill in arbitration, and although Gaudette is not going to arbitration, he may try to use that as a comparable in his contract negotiations with Vancouver. In any case I simply don't think the leafs can afford both those players.
Weegar and Mikheyev also have arbitration rights so I think they both get like 500k more then what you have them at (aka Weegar at 3.6 and Mikheyev at 1.75).
